UCLA medical school's mandatory health equity class teaches students that "ob*sity" is a slur

♾️/ 10

The Free Beacon, OP?

Not that I agree with it, but why shouldn’t they read it?

Is the teacher a great big fat person?

I don't trust *any* right wing rag's intention, r3.

Are they making it up, R2? Don't like it, don't read it.

R5 I was talking about the essays and the syllabus.

FF Qtard freak.

[quote]One required reading lists "anti-capitalist politics" as a principle of "disability justice" and attacks the evils of "ableist heteropatriarchal capitalism." Others attack "growth-centered economic theories" and call for "moving beyond capitalism for our health."

Yep. Sounds like Commie-fornia.

She sounds fat.

R4 (and R10) yes. Confirmed great big fat person Marquisele Mercedes

Obesity is offensive

Therefore I shall go back to what we would call a heavy person in the 1970's

FATSO

The course doesn't "teach" this sentiment, you ignorant slut. One of the readings in one of the weeks makes this unscientific claim. Students are expected to read this claptrap, alongside dozens of other articles and essays on other topics.

OP's clear misunderstanding of how course reading lists work suggests he never went to college. And no, barber/clown colleges don't count.

In the course of their education (which continues throughout the entirety of their careers), doctors are exposed to many theories, ideas and philosophies they don't necessarily agree with. It's scraping the bottom of the barrel to treat this like a story.

There should be mandatory watchings of “Married with Children” to compensate.

Oh my God, this is worse than Gaza!

I'm pretty right wing, esp. by the standards of this site, but don't see why the students shouldn't read some dumb essay about fatphobia. They will surely be exposed to the idea elsewhere, including from woke patients, so why not discuss it? It is not clear that the students have to believe in the essay, just that they have to read it.

Professor Buffalo Butt.

Fat people raise everyone's health insurance premiums. They are an economic scourge on society.

The preferred clinical term is now "fat whore"

What you're saying is..."fat piece of steaming hog flesh" is now the acceptable term.

Is fatty boombalatty ok?

Marquisele Mercedes types fat.

the PC term for them is 'vegetably challenged'

Excuse my French, but you’re fat. Actually, in France they would say that to your face so it is French in a way.

It's a medical term, FFS.

Couldn't this be interpreted or reframed as Marquisele Mercedes being in collusion with the medical industrial complex to keep people at unhealthy weights so they continue to see doctors at inordinately high rates for a variety of diseases and conditions related to obesity? And dependent on prescriptions for these conditions? You know, rather than developing proactive behavioral and supportive weight loss programs or preventive education through community groups and local agencies?

Hmm, where do *her* paychecks come from? 🤔
